“I have always been pleased with the services provided by Expert Investigations, they have been very effective.”
Wie-Men Ho, Legal Director, Eversheds-Sutherland

“I have worked with David Kearns of Expert Investigations for over 12 years because of his professionalism and willingness to ‘think outside the box’. Expert Investigations are our first choice for fraud where we have together very closely.”
Raymond Joyce, Consultant, Freeths
“I engaged the services of Expert Investigations on behalf of a client to carry out surveillance of an employee following suspicions of possible fraud/malingering from work. The investigation required a discreet, professional and responsive surveillance operation which was delivered by Expert Investigations in every respect. The service was of the highest quality, in respect of its operation, organisation and the quality of the evidence gathered. It was explained to me at the outset exactly how the operation would be conducted and what equipment would be used. I was also kept fully updated and informed throughout the investigation, providing valuable peace of mind given the sensitive nature of the enquiry. The report submitted by Expert Investigations on completion of the operation was detailed, descriptive and informative. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dave Kearns and his team at Expert Investigations to anyone needing a professional, discreet and quality-focused surveillance/investigation service.”
Rebecca Sawbridge, Partner, Freeths
“Having recently instructed Expert Investigations on several matters requiring urgent personal service of documents within the UK and in the Chanel Islands, I have been impressed by the speed and efficiency with which instructions were dealt with and consider the service provided good value for money. I would not hesitate to instruct Expert Investigations in future and would be happy to recommend their services to others.”
Sarah Bradford, Associate, Shakespeare Martineau
“Expert Investigations provided our clients with a tailor-made service in relation to covert surveillance in two very serious high-profile cases, involving drug dealing and gang activities. The evidence produced by the team from Expert Investigations was invaluable and accepted by the court, who acknowledged the extremely difficult circumstances in which the evidence had to be obtained.”
Geraldine Haden, Partner, Shakespeare Martineau
“We have been so pleased with your service as you have been very efficient in reporting back to us on progress. We know that when we send out a statutory demand or bankruptcy petition for service that we will receive acknowledgment of our instructions and updated regular feedback on that service. You have the resource and efficiency to cope with bulk instructions and still provide the same quality service.”

“I have instructed Expert Investigations on many occasions for service of documents and tracing queries and have found their service to be excellent. They are always willing to help, and will take on any enquiries, no matter what time of day. They respond quickly and are always willing to go that extra mile to help. If a job is proving difficult they will always keep you updated, instead of you having to chase. A great, efficient service for excellent value. I would definitely recommend them to others.”

“Expert Investigations have amassed a really strong reputation for delivering results. The team at Expert Investigations are professional and always willing to help. They are my preferred choice in what is a highly competitive market!”
Gareth Ruddock, Partner, FBC Manby Bowdler
“I first met David Kearns 10 years ago when the firm I trained with used Expert Investigations on a case where an employee was stealing company data with the view to setting up a competing business. David and his team were extremely helpful and through the covert investigation gave us the information required to take action against the employee. We then used the company for several other employment related issues. In my last firm I met David again because he was doing a very engaging presentation and showed us the mod-cons the team now use in their covert investigations. I would certainly recommend Expert Investigations and will look to use the company in the future where the need arises.”
Rebecca Harmer, Solicitor, Knights PLC
“The team at Expert Investigations has always provided a professional and fast response to our needs and those of our clients, from personal service of documents to surveillance related work. I would highly recommend them.”

I have always found David and his team to be consummate professionals, they simply get the job done with the least amount of fuss.

Our businesses have also presented jointly at seminars, there is no doubt that Expert Investigations are leaders in their field. Expert investigations also support other organisations and were a key sponsor at Birmingham Law Society events during my year as President of the Society.”
